The Baja Designs XL40 (D/C) LED Headlight Kit with Dimmer is a direct replacement headlight for 2024-and-newer Husqvarna FE-S, FE-W, FE, and TE off-road bikes. The manufacturer says the XL40 is derived from its larger XL80 light and rates it at 5,224 lumens on high beam. The kit includes a clear Trail lens, a dimmer switch, and a Motominded mounting bracket, so it swaps in for the stock headlight rather than requiring custom fabrication. For riders searching for a 2024 Husqvarna FE-S LED headlight upgrade with a dimmer, this is the factory-matched option.
The reason to pay for this kit over stock or a generic LED bar is output without electrical strain. The manufacturer engineered the XL40 for dirt bikes with lower-output OEM stators and lists a power draw of 43.5 watts, which helps avoid overloading the charging system. The built-in dimmer lets you cut output anywhere from 95% down to 20%, useful on tight singletrack or dusk trail rides where full brightness creates glare. Because it uses the 2024+ OEM connector, it is a plug-and-play option for riders who want a brighter, purpose-built night-riding light without rewiring the bike.
No. The manufacturer lists this part as the version with a dimmer switch, while the Hi/Low harness kit for the FE-S is a separate part number. Confirm the exact part before ordering if you need hi/low beam switching.
The manufacturer lists fitment for the 2024–2026 Husqvarna FE-S, FE-W, FE, and TE models, and the kit includes the 2024+ OEM connector for those bikes.
Per the manufacturer's 2024 Husqvarna headlight instructions, installation is a moderate bench-and-bolt job. You remove the headlight mask using T30 bolts, free the clutch cables, and unplug the stock headlight. The stock light then comes off its yellow mounting plate using T20 Torx screws, the new XL assembly is fastened to that plate with a 4mm Allen wrench, and the dimmer harness is wired between the stock plug and the new light. Before reassembly, install your chosen lens, route the wires so they stay clear of moving parts, and set beam pitch by pressing on the bezel. Gotchas: keep the clutch cables seated correctly when refitting the mask, and make sure no wires get pinched when the headlight assembly goes back on.
